In Camera Lucida, Barthes pretty much just explains photography. I learned some new things about photography that I had never known before. Since, I am a photo major I was really interested to hear what he had to explain. I especially like some of the quotes that I could pull from the reading that pretty much some up my view on photography as well.
“The past is as certain as the present, what we see on paper is as certain as what we touch.” This quote has the same kind of meaning behind it that reiterates what I think photography means to a lot of people: that photography is a way to keep in touch with the past. A photograph is a moment in time, whether it is posed or not it is a way of pulling the past to the present.
